Edit: It turns out I am not perfect and have holes in my knowledge. Games that are wrongly categorized are shifted over to the other list, but with a strikethrough to indicate a change, to preserve my original thoughts.

Games, brands and series associated with XBOX, compared to other console brands. The lists doesn't mean exclusives or best games. It's more of, what you think of games, when you think of XBOX.

Core brands created by XBOX

  • Halo
  • Gears of War
  • Fable
  • Forza

Secondary brands created by XBOX

  • Age of Empires
  • Sea of Thieves
  • Starfield
  • Hellblade
  • State of Decay

Purchased by XBOX

  • Age of Empires
  • Minecraft
  • Call of Duty
  • WoW
  • Overwatch
  • Diablo
  • Fallout
  • DOOM
  • Killer Instinct

Console exclusives with XBOX

  • Lost Odyssey

Associated with XBOX, but no longer exclusive

  • Ninja Gaiden
  • Titanfall
  • Star Wars Knights of the Republic (KOTOR)
  • Ori and the Blind Forest

I was thinking about XBOX and its future, and somehow I got tangled in history and what the brand recognition is. This is the end result of my thoughts.

Im not actually in any xbox related communities or anything like that :p either way it's purely anecdotal experience of never having met someone who plays fifa on playstation, with it being xbox every time lol. Plus it fits into the general (again anecdotal) image I have of the typical xbox gamer, which probably works to reinforce that idea in my mind

Also yeah, ryse son of rome.. I don't think that game was ever that big? It probably stuck in my mind cause a gaming youtuber I watched at the time had a long series on it, and I remember being somewhat disappointed when I found out it's an exclusive :3

    Just by chance, might the YouTuber possibly be MrMatty? It would be a nice coincidence, but I heard about this game in a retro sense the first time (consciously) from him, as he liked this game a lot. The ratings for this game wasn't also particularly good, so I mostly overlooked it for that reason probably.

    It was not mr matty, though I do know of him :3

    It was either theradbrad or tmartn2.. though im leaning towards theradbrad as I watched him more back then (funnily enough I haven't watched either in years lol).. also looking back at the playlist for the series for either it's not as long as I remember it being haha
